Common sense isn't.
Sitting
at the patio next to the new cafeteria, looking over the pond, one
can see the old ORNL visitor overlook, up the hill across the street
(out of view in the photo above). Even from that distance,
one can see it has changed significantly since my
last visit.
Approaching
the overlook, the new (
~2003-2005 archived 2007)
Visitor Center building complex comes into view.
The building and displays at the overlook are gone, and
little remains, other than the foundation, which plants are
beginning to take over, and remnants of old display holders.
Near
the overlook, the old trail to the parking lot is blocked by a fallen
tree.
This plaque,
which describes Cedar barrens as part of the old
nature trail, is still legible, but is
becoming over-grown and covered by needles.
The trail-side
entrance to the overlook is barely visible through the overgrowth.
